This is the Greater Blue-eared Glossy-starling (Lamprotornis chalybaeus) – now that’s a mouth full! I chose to post on this lustrous bird because I think it really represents the next phase of The Featured Creature….

It’s a highly gregarious bird that likes to form large flocks where everyone can sit around and just… tweet! Get it?!?

OK, ok what I’m alluding to here is (if you haven’t caught on by now) that The Featured Creature is now on Twitter!!!! I know you’re all just freakin’ amped right now so you better hurry on over and click that squishy&cute twitter icon in the top right of the sidebar to follow along!

Someone has to teach me this twitter thing though, because I’m a complete n00b and have no idea what all these little symbols mean #truth.

Tweet me @ftcreature nowwww! Can’t wait to really start talking to all you guys and gals out there 🙂 Tell all your friends to follow the creatures too!
